3 weeks today

Tess is 3 weeks old today. Where does the time go? It's hard to believe it has been almost a month since she arrived. Although, seeing her with the other kids, it's like she has been here all along.

Teagan and "Baby guhl". He still doesn't call her Tess. Just baby girl, and "him". She is awake for longer periods now, looking around and making eye contact. She has smiled a couple times while awake, only to fart a minute later. So I guess it really is "just gas". And, she is sleeping for 5-6 hours at night, which is nice. We had a photographer come to the house this morning to take her pictures, so hopefully, in a couple weeks, we'll have some portraits to show off. We're having a cookout for her in a couple weeks, so we're busy planning for that. Other than that, all is well.

I can't imagine a photographer is going to get any photos better than the ones you take. I absolutely love seeing these photos - I can almost feel that precious girl in my arms. I can actually see the changes in her and those little dresses are adorable. Thank you, thank you for sharing with me across the miles.

I was going to say the same thing about the dresses that Sarah did. I LOVE them!! Where did you find them. She is so adorable and in those dresses, there is no word to describe her!! I love the one of Teagan kissing her. I was also thinking the same thing as Sarah about the photographer. Your pictures are great!
